Little Torch Key, Florida Keys

Virgin rating

The hotel

No TV’s. No phones. Just the two of you. Sound like complete bliss? That’s what you’ll find at the Little Palm Island Resort and Spa. Arrive by seaplane or private boat to this island just off the Keys, and you’ll be greeted with a refreshing cocktail at the Shore Station, before heading to your luxury bungalow to enjoy a quiet, romantic break. The lush private island is dotted with tropical scenery and exotic wildlife, with your thatched roof bungalows nestled in between. Enjoy the copper bath on your private balcony, order some room service, or head to the pool bar to make friends – whatever takes your fancy! Of course, there is WiFi, and a TV in the main room for any essential events, but ringing phones are taboo here, so you can enjoy your trip in peace.

My recent impromptu stay at Little Palm Island was an unforgettable experience. As an experienced flight attendant who frequently witnesses the spectrum of service quality in the industry, I can confidently say that Jasmine and the bartenders, Trevor, Reyne, & Liz, here were some of the most service-forward and friendly professionals I've ever encountered. Their dedication to ensuring a pleasant and memorable stay went above and beyond expectations. The food was fantastic, and every dish was a delight. The room, from start to finish, was beautifully appointed, providing a perfect sanctuary for relaxation. In just 24 hours, I experienced the pinnacle of hospitality. I highly recommend "A Little Palm Island" for anyone seeking an extraordinary getaway. Definitely feel like they helped us on our whimsical adventure to get lost and explore. Read less
